Taking without paying: the consequences, sentence 1
When Zak's mate dares him to pocket a bar, Zak says no and walks out: getting caught can mean a ban from the shop, a call to parents, or the police, and a young person can get a warning that stays on a record.
Who acts: mate, Zak, getting, young person, warning · What happens: dare, pocket, say, walk out, get, catch · To what, where: Zak, bar, ban, shop, warning, record · Speech: someone speaks here
